The details

It’s been awhile – too long, actually, and I apologize for that – since we announced that we’re going to be making some changes here at Publishing Renaissance. Here, in short, are the details. Starting in September, our format will change from semi-daily blog posts to a monthly e-zine. This way we’ll have more time to devote to quality and variety. Publishing Renaissance will also have a more structured look and feel, with specific categories and features that will include:

• Marketing
• Opinion pieces
• Indie Author Spotlight
• Publishing Industry news
• Technical tips (how-tos)
• Moving Beyond Indie (tips for indie authors looking for an agent or publisher)
• Success Stories Business Tips (information for those starting their own business as their own imprint)
• Various columns (humor, slice-of-life, etc)
• Focus on Genre

Most of these ‘categories’ are currently being covered by our staff, but with the new format it will be easier to find specific kinds of articles that are of interest to you, or to find particular information you need. Our existing articles will be saved in the archives and will still be available to read. We will still be open to guest blogs and Creative Works submissions as well.

The look of Publishing Renaissance will change, too. In fact we’ll be fiddling around with that a little bit in the days and weeks to come, so don’t be alarmed if you pop in here during the next month or so and things look a bit odd.

The first issue of the new format will be published in September. We’ll have an announcement with a more specific date coming very soon.
